00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: is now pegged at one hundred and thirty five million dollars.

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: match their talent and their potential, for the resources to

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: be there to fund that year after year after year.
